Using SharePoint designer you can create custom looukup fields where you set your own filter on which elements from the source list which you want to display.

Variables : Declaring our two variables is very easy. Simply type the following lines of code: int x; int y; "int" is the C# term for integer, a mathematical term referring to a number that has no fractions or decimal values. Remember -- our goal in declaring variables is to tell the .NET Framework Runtime to save a place in memory for our numeric values. After that we can access our variables. Expression : Type the following code: int x = 7; string y = "Bob"; string myFirstTry = x + y; Console.WriteLine(myFirstTry); Console.ReadLine(); If you run the application, you'll see that the console window prints out 7Bob. This is correct, because seven plus Bob equals 7Bob. Now, add the following code: int mySecondTry = x + y;

To add or remove Web Parts from a page, you must be a member of the Administrator site group on the portal site. You can add or remove Web Parts only from some pages. You can add or remove Web Parts for the Home, News, Topics, and My Site pages. You cannot edit any of the pages in Site Settings or SharePoint Portal Server central administration, because these pages do not use Web Parts. The Sites page uses Web Parts, but can be modified only by using Web page editing tools.

The controls you add to a form have something called Properties. A property of a control is things like its Height, its Width, its Name, its Text, and a whole lot more besides. To see what properties are available for a button, make sure the button is selected. If a control is selected, it will have white squares surrounding it. If your button is not selected, simply click it once. Now look in the bottom right of Visual C# Express, just below the Solution Explorer. You should see the Properties Window.
